Hi, my grandfather died of Parkinson’s Disease, but he also had really bad dementia. It’s tough. I found this book to be very helpful, even though he didn’t have Alzheimer’s. Hope it helps!

Question by Amy G: What is a good book to read for an older women who is suffering from dementia and has trouble seeing?
My grandma is suffering from dementia mainly because she is extremely un-exposed and hardly leaves her house. I want to give her a book to read to help stimulate her brain but Im not sure what will be interesting. It has to be something that is easy reading with words that aren’t too small. Any suggesstions?? I really want to know as soon as possible.

A question from privateidaho: What is the best book to help families support a loved one with Alzheimer’s?
My grandpa has been diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer’s disease. I’m looking for the best book on the market for helping families (and especially spouses) understand the disease. I’d also love to find the best book that describes effective ways for slowing the disease’s progression. Thanks!
